IF you can ready any Japanese sometimes you can tell from looking at their stage names. Like "Hitomi Shimatani". Her given name is written in hiragana so if you can read that then you can do the same for some others. =) Also after a while you just start to recognize certain sounds/kanji that are almost exclusively in surnames, or even given names. If a woman's name ends in "ko" it's probably her given name.
*can't think of anything else to say*
